Allow parents to attend outdoor sports days at primary schools
Allow us to be free to enjoy our children doing a sports day, with social distance regulations and masks when moving around. Our children have suffered enough over the last 18 months and a every day life has changed but why should football clubs and events be allowed but not a day for the children!
As the children only get to have 1 sports day through out the school year which is normally help outside on the school field. It's only fair on the children to be able to have their parents there to support them and encourage them as we used to be allowed. We can attend social distance football matches, car show/racing events, out door clubs and groups even weddings are allowed but not something that is for our children who have suffered more then we realise.
